DUCK DONUTS REVIEW + TASTE TEST

On our way back from Chattanooga this weekend, we came across a Duck Donuts! I've seen them all over Tik-Tok so ya'll know my sugar addiction couldn’t resist trying them out. We ordered a dozen and taste tested them all!

Honestly it was a dream come true getting to bite into ten different donuts all at once (two of the flavors we ordered two of). I had major sugar overload (that I paid for later) but it was totally worth it!

All of the donuts are made to order which is different + unique from any other donut shops I’ve been to. They have a ton of flavors combinations to choose from or you can create your own from the different glazes, toppings & drizzles. I was too overwhelmed with their choices to even think about making my own, lol. Here's what we picked:

DONUT FLAVORS

 Coffee Cake, Strawberry Shortcake, Blueberry Crumble, French Toast, The Boardwalk x2 (oreo crumble, powder sugar + vanilla drizzle), Maple Bacon, Sunrise Lemon Icing w/ Raspberry Drizzle, Smore’s x2, The Flip-Flop (chocolate w/ vanilla drizzle) and Cinnamon Bun

The donuts are a vanilla cake base that have a sweet, crispy texture. They remind me of a blend between a funnel cake and a crueler. I love how they all turned out decorated + they were also served warm which is always a win.

Every single one was delish, however there were definitely some that stood out above the others. My boyfriend and I both agreed our top three favorites were the French Toast, Blueberry Crumble & The Boardwalk. To us those three had a little bit of something extra to them. I was blown away by the French Toast because it actually tasted identical to French toast- syrup flavor and all. The funny thing is that it wasn’t even one of the first ones we picked, I added it on to make twelve towards the end ðŸ¤ª

Some flavors like the Cinnamon Bun and the Flip-Flop reminded me of classic donuts which were good, just not as unique or outstanding as the others. I love the classics, however I think the novelty here (at least for me) is ordering more specialty flavors. The Maple Bacon donut was also a first for both of us. It’s definitely an interesting one... I love bacon but I'm not sure I'm behind the hype on this one. I've always been curious on what one would taste like though so I'm glad we tried it!

Overall, I loved trying them all and I think it's a very cool experience. If you’ve had Duck Donuts before, what’s your favorite one? I will definitely be going back the next time I'm near another one!
